The Recoleta cemetery adds guided tours on weekends and holidays
Since June, the Recoleta cemetery has offered guided tours in Spanish on weekends and holidays. The City incorporated this free tour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Eight visits are made each day, starting every hour, starting from the main entrance to the cemetery at Junín 1760, with a maximum of 60 people per tour. To launch this service, the City hired two guides to lead the different contingents.
Foreign visitors must pay an entrance fee to the cemetery of $8,270. For national residents, entry to the Recoleta Cemetery is free. It is worth noting that this proposal is added to the current schedule of free guided tours from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The guided tour of Recoleta includes a visit to the most notable pantheons and vaults of the cemetery. Some of the personalities included in the proposal are: Remedios de Escalada de San Martín, Luis Federico Leloir, Julio A. Roca, Eva Duarte de Perón, Domingo F. Sarmiento, Raúl Alfonsín, Juan B. Alberdi and Salvador María Del Carril, among others.

The Recoleta cemetery, the first public cemetery in the City, constitutes a great work of art and architecture. It is the most visited for its numerous and imposing mausoleums and vaults, belonging to many of the main protagonists of Argentine history. The Recoleta Cemetery was built in 1822 as the first public cemetery in the City and its layout is the work of the French engineer Próspero Catelin.
It is located in the Recoleta neighborhood, which owes its name to the fact that the convent of the Recollect monks was located there. The Basilica Nuestra Señora del Pilar belonged to this congregation and it was in the old orchard of the Basilica that the cemetery was built.
Throughout its five hectares of surface, the imposing vaults and mausoleums belonging to many of the great protagonists of Argentine history stand out: political leaders, former presidents of the Nation, writers, Nobel Prize winners, athletes and businessmen. Some of the most visited tombs are those of Eva Perón (Evita), Luis Federico Leloir and Adolfo Bioy Casares, among others.
Decorated with marble and sculptures, the buildings that make up the Recoleta heritage complex are the work of prominent architects and artists. More than 90 vaults have been declared National Historic Monuments.
